Library Snapshot Day

A Primer for Creating a Library Snapshot Day in Your State or Locality

We all know that libraries are busier than ever, providing incredible service in these challenging economic times. What if libraries went away, even for a day? What would the impact be on our state and the people we serve? What would happen if there were no libraries? Holding a library snapshot day is a simple way to prove that libraries provide invaluable services to our communities.
